base.dns.mullvad.net is my goto for devices that I don't manage often, like for family, but the last few days it will randomly just not respond for a few minutes and then suddenly be fine. I haven't seen any news about it and their server status is just for their VPNs. Anyone else noticing this or have any info?

Its working OK for me.

No problems over the recent weeks for the family.

You can check which DNS server you are using by expanding the DNS box in our Connection check.

If you expand the "NO DNS LEAKS" for the server info.

The API section next to the FAQ gives more info.
